Every Last Letter board for Oct 18, 2026: a five by five grid of letter tiles with Score 0 and Start Over, Clear, Give Up and Submit buttons

Every Last Letter is one of six daily puzzles on PuzzleNook. Each day brings a five by five grid of 25 letters, and you spell words of three or more letters from any tiles you like until the board is clear. Longer words score more, and using all 25 letters adds a bonus.

About Every Last Letter (PuzzleNook)

PuzzleNook is a small site of free daily word games, and Every Last Letter is its letter-clearing puzzle. The day's board is a five by five grid of letters, dated on the page. You tap letters in any order to spell a word and submit it; the tiles you used leave the board and your score goes up.

There is no fixed list of answers to find, and the letters do not have to touch. Words need at least three letters. The challenge is planning: some letters, like an X, a J or a Q, only fit in a few words, so the order in which you spend the common letters matters. Using all 25 letters adds a 100 point bonus, 24 adds 50 and 23 adds 25. The game ends when you give up or no word can be made from what is left. Start Over resets the board, Clear empties the current word, and a Score Challenge button shows the highest score possible for the day.

The other PuzzleNook puzzles (Six to Five, One and the Same, InCommon, a daily crossword and Unscrumble) sit in tabs above the board, and an archive lets you play earlier days. The site has no ads and the daily plays without an account. It says free players can complete up to three puzzles per game per day.

Tips

Spend awkward letters like X, J or Q first, while vowels are still plentiful.
Long words score more, but keep a few vowels back for the end.
Plan the last few words before submitting so no lone letter is left.
Open Score Challenge once you finish to see how far your score is from the day's best.
